Our main communication channel for parents is Class Dojo. Our staff post photos and information reguarly to keep you fully updated on things happening within each year group. If you have not yet signed up to Class Dojo, please contact the school office.
Many members of our parent body came in on Saturday 20th April to help us prepare lots of indoor and outdoor areas for the summer term ahead.
They were incredible at clearning our forest school area and setting it up for lots of outdoor learning for children, as well as helping to decorate our library and organise resources.
If you feel able to support the PA at the next 'Sort It Saturday', please feel free to email pa@mosspits,com
EYFS News:
A New Mud Kitchen!
Miss Brown and Miss Murphy wanted to share some wonderful Early Years news with the rest of the school:
‘Our amazing Kandinsky Art Fundraiser meant that we could purchase a mud kitchen for EYFS! Thank you to all parents and carers that bought a print!
Their ‘Mosspits-Michelin star’ outdoor cafe opened this week and the children have been exploring and using their new learning space brilliantly. They absolutely love it. The children have been wonderful at sharing and helping each other. We could not have purchased this without the kindness and generosity of our families!’
British Science Week - Smashing Stereotypes
Our children benefited hugely from special assemblies run by outside organisations such as Mad Science, LSSP and they also experienced a falconry display! A large number of wonderful parents that work within the science and technology industry volunteered to run workshops for our children. We are so grateful - the workshops covered a range of scientific concepts such as blackholes, the big bang theory, tiny particles around us, the digestive system and genetics just to name a few.
Also, during science week, we took part in a big recycling task. The government wants to build more evidence about what happens to our plastic waste to help put a change to the plastic crisis. By joining thousands of other people for a week and counting all the plastic we throw away we can provide that vital evidence needed. Miss Brown will also be giving out 2 X £10 vouchers for excellent engagement at home. This also fits in with our value of Eco-Friendly.

Poetry Excitement!
KS1 children were visited by Andy Tooze - a poet - who inspired children and teachers alike to get involved with poetry. The children thoroughly enjoyed their day and wrote and performed some excellent poems.
We were blown away by the poems in Y1 and Y2 - some of the children came to me to share them with me and the pride they had in their work was just fabulous. They received very well deserved Headteacher Award stickers and others were awarded star achiever during the celebration assembly.
We are so proud of all of our poets!
Parent Governor Elections
I was so pleased to see a large number of return votes for our parent governor elections - thank you so much for your support. Over ¼ of parents returned ballot papers.
We were lucky to have two fantastic parents that put themselves forward.
Our elected Governor is Leah Ellis, who will join the Governing body in their next full governors meeting.
We are looking forward to celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 3rd March. Children are invited to come to school wearing PJs, Onesies or Dressing gowns. We will be taking part in the 2022 Liverpool Readathon and children will be taking part in the Drop Everything and Read challenge. Please see school Dojo for more details,
We are looking forward to celebrating Number Day again this year. The children will be able to wear something with a maths link for a donation to NSPCC. Children in Years 2 to 6 will also be able to take part in a national competition for the day via Times Tables Rockstars. Further details on school letter.
We were thrilled to welcome former Mosspits pupil and Paralympian LORA FACHIE and her guide dog, Tai, to school to speak with the children. Lora claimed an amazing GOLD medal in this year's Paralympic games!
The children were left feeling completely and utterly motivated and inspired by her story. Head over to our gallery to see some pictures!
We celebrated Children in Need in school on Friday 19th November and raised a staggering £550! Thank you for your very generous donations. These donations will go towards helping children in our community and beyond.
We are excited to welcome author Samantha Giles to school on Friday 19th November. Samantha will share with children in Years 3 - 6 an extract of her new book. Look out for a letter that will be sent home with children, it contains an order form for anyone who wishes to purchase a copy of the book.
